Hello,
I would like to know how can i send a string of data from Digi's x-ctu software to my waspmote?
regards

To clarify i do not know what function to use in the waspmote to enable reception of data. I tried xbee802.readXBee(); but the compiler says that it does not recognize it.

can u please advice me?

regards

Apologies for the continuous messages. I have identified the problem the error_RX variables return 2 and then -1 identifying that the function is not supported in this module. How can i solve this issue?

regards

Maybe you can solve the issue using the treatdata() function on your waspmote.

aly1990,

Please take a look into examples provided with IDE and also in our development section. There is shown a way of receiving data.

As Alex says, you can use xbee802.treatData();

Regards.

Hi I am already using xbee802.treatData(). The waspmote is not recieving and i get a flag of -2 when i check xbee802.error_RX.

I have included my code : In my code a send data and then i wait for 10sec to recieve some data

// sending and recieving from gataway + BATTERY LEVEL PRINTED ON THE USB

packetXBee* paq_sent;
int8_t state=0;
long previous=0;
char* data="Test message!";
char* data_rec;



uint8_t PANID[2]={0x12,0x34};

void setup()
{
// Inits the XBee 802.15.4 library
xbee802.init(XBEE_802_15_4,FREQ2_4G,NORMAL);

// Powers XBee
xbee802.ON();
}

void loop()
{







// Set params to send
paq_sent=(packetXBee*) calloc(1,sizeof(packetXBee));
paq_sent->mode=UNICAST;
paq_sent->MY_known=0;
paq_sent->packetID=0x52;
paq_sent->opt=0;
xbee802.hops=0;
//xbee802.setOriginParams(paq_sent, "0013A2004065F6A7", MY_TYPE);
//xbee802.setDestinationParams(paq_sent, "0013A200406918C4", data, MAC_TYPE, DATA_ABSOLUTE);
//xbee802.sendXBee(paq_sent);
char* data;


data = "Sent Data packet";
USB.print("Battery Level: ");
USB.print(PWR.getBatteryLevel(),DEC);
USB.println(" %");

xbee802.send("0013A200406918C4",data);
if( !xbee802.error_TX )
{
XBee.println("ok");
}
free(paq_sent);
paq_sent=NULL;

previous=millis();

while( (millis()-previous) < 10000 )
{

while(XBee.available())
{
USB.print("The packet is: ");
USB.println(XBee.available(),DEC);
USB.println(xbee802.error_RX,DEC);
USB.println(xbee802.pos,DEC);
state =0;

xbee802.treatData();
if(!xbee802.error_RX)
{
while(xbee802.pos>0)
{
// Treat the received packet
USB.print("The packet is: ");



USB.print(xbee802.packet_finished[xbee802.pos-1]->data[0]);


free(xbee802.packet_finished[xbee802.pos-1]);
xbee802.packet_finished[xbee802.pos-1]=NULL;
xbee802.pos--;
}
}

}

} // Waiting the answer


delay(1000);
}

aly1990,

Did you followed waspmote checklist? it is just to be sure you are doing main steps correctly.

Also, please upload exapme codes and try to test it before making your own code.

One last tip: be sure your XBee's have same network parameters.

Regards.

thank you for your kind reply.

I am confused because i can send data but i cannot receive. when i send data from the gateway to the waspmote i use the x-ctu terminal provided by digi. Do u think the problem is with my transciever?

Dear libelium-dev

I have solved the problem;the right function to use is XBee.read().

thank you for your support

Glad to hear that.

Regards
